Can I suggestion something for the todo list?

I'd like to see mgetty optionally call a program when it sees the caller
ID information.  How might this be useful?  Well, if your modem is
connected to a voice line, mgetty could call a program that could use the
caller ID information for something usefull -- pull up someone's personal
information, medical chart, or maybe just alert you that someone important
is calling...

This option would need to include basic parameters such as uid/gid of
course...

Maybe in a later release, mgetty could determine what program to execute
for different ID's (similar to the dialin.config).. but for now, it would
be helpful to just add the executing part -- the 3rd party program can
handle different IDs for now... 

What do you think?  Sound reasonable?
